Allentown School District - Homeless Children and Youth Initiative

Homeless Children and Youth Initiative identifies students experiencing homelessness and implements strategies to address barriers to enrollment, attendance and participation in school activities. Students experiencing homelessness are entitled under law to

• Education on an equal basis with other children
• Continue to attend their home school of origin
• Immediate enrollment, even if they lack records
• Special assistance for the Allentown School District Homeless Liaison

Note: If a student is in a temporary living situation, he/she may be able to remain in his/her current school. Talk with ASD resources before dis-enrolling.
